Changes in loading PDF documents

You can now track PDF document loading with two new events:

PdfDocumentLoaded
PdfDocumentLoadFailed

Usage example:

browser.on(PdfDocumentLoaded.class, event -> {
 var url = event.url();
 var frame = event.frame();

 // This event is a good place to start PDF printing.
 frame.print();
});

Starting with JxBrowser 8.17.0, FrameLoadFinished event and Navigation.loadUrlAndWait() method are no longer reliable ways to wait for the PDF document to load. Use the new events instead.

Breaking change in `loadHtml()`

In this version, we have replaced the Frame.loadHtml(...) with the Navigation.loadHtml(...) method.

Before 7.44.0:

browser.mainFrame().ifPresent(frame -> {
 frame.loadHtml("<html>Hello!</html>");
});

Starting with 7.44.0:

browser.navigation().loadHtml("<html>Hello!</html>");

The implementation of loadHtml() hasn’t changed. This method converts HTML into a data: URL, and is a subject to the URL length limit of 2 * 1024 * 1024 characters.

User-Agent Client Hints API

In this version you can now set the User-Agent Client Hints data that will be sent to the server when the server requests it.

The following example demonstrates how to set the User-Agent Client Hints data:

Java
browser.userAgentData(
 UserAgentData.newBuilder()
 .addBrand(UserAgentBrand.create("Safari", "123.45.6.7"))
 .addBrand(UserAgentBrand.create("Edge", "123.45.6.7"))
 .fullVersion("123.45.6.7-beta")
 .platform("Windows")
 .platformVersion("11")
 .architecture("x86_64")
 .bitness("64")
 .wow64(true)
 .build());

Parsing the User-Agent string has historically been the way to get information about the user’s browser or device. A typical user agent string looks like the following example, identifying Chrome 92 on Windows:

Chromium traffic

Some of our clients reported that Chromium sends unexpected requests to external web services sometimes. We figured out that Chromium features such as Google Cloud Messaging, Translate Ranker, Extensions Updater, Safe Browsing, Spell Checker, Widevine etc. make requests to the external Google web services such as https://ssl.gstatic.com, https://clients4.google.com, to work properly.

We understand that any unexpected request to an external web service might be treated as a security threat and should be blocked. We analyzed all the Chromium features that send requests to external web services and ensured you have full control over them via the JxBrowser API. The features you cannot control using the API are disabled by default to prevent unexpected requests to external web services.

Releasing JS/DOM objects

Improvements

Include a 32-bit version of the awt_helper.dll library into the Chromium binaries for Windows platform to allow running JxBrowser 6 on Adopt OpenJDK 11 and higher.
Now the spell checker’s Dictionaries directory is created in the user data directory instead of the directory where the Chromium binaries were extracted. Very often Java application does not have rights to create the files in the directory where the Chromium binaries were extracted, so the spell checker functionality did not work properly in such a case.

Fixed issues

The match case search is not working when finding text inside a PDF document displayed in the default PDF Viewer.
The rendering issues in the lightweight rendering mode when Swing BrowserView is embedded into a foreground tab of JTabbedPane.
Crash in the Chromium render process when the LoadHandler.OnLoad() method returns true. As a result, returning true does not cancel the appropriate network requests.
The LoadHandler.OnLoad() method never gets hit for a redirect in IFRAME for some websites.
The ProtocolHandler does not intercept the *.webm resources loading when BrowserContext is configured to use StorageType.MEMORY.
Now, the Environment.isSupported() returns false for macOS 10.9 since we dropped support of this environment in the previous versions.

JsObject jsObject = json.parse("{\"one\":1,\"two\":2}");
String jsObjectJson = json.stringify(jsObject);

Dynamic favicons

This release extends the functionality allowing to get the favicon of the currently loaded web page, which was introduced in 7.2. Since some web pages change their favicons dynamically, we decided to enable JxBrowser to get notifications when favicon on the loaded web page is changed. Here is how:

JxBrowser 7.4

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 7.4

Improvements

All Chromium binaries for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit are now signed with a valid TeamDev’s certificate.
Ability to configure the IPC server socket port via the jxbrowser.server.socket.port System Property. By default, JxBrowser takes the first available socket port.

Fixed issues

Crash when creating a Browser instance with a BrowserContext configured to use the user data directory from another BrowserContext that does not have associated non-disposed Browser instances.
Crash when disposing a Browser instance on the Windows platforms.
The java.lang.NullPointerException when interrupting the thread during construction a Browser instance. Now, the library throws a BrowserException with appropriate message if the thread has been interrupted.

macOS Mojave

JxBrowser now officially supports macOS 10.14 Mojave.

OpenJDK 11

Java 11 has arrived. With the recent changes to Oracle JDK distribution and support, there’s been considerable uncertainty over the rights to use Oracle JDK vs Oracle’s OpenJDK builds. Many of our customers asked whether we are planning to support OpenJDK as well.

JxBrowser 6.21

Fri, 22 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.21

We are very happy to announce JxBrowser 6.21 version.

Chromium 64-bit on Windows

Since 6.21, JxBrowser distribution package includes Chromium 64-bit binaries for Windows platform. So, now JxBrowser provides both the jxbrowser-win32.jar and jxbrowser-win64.jar libraries that contain Chromium 32-bit and Chromium 64-bit binaries accordingly. Read more.

In Chromium 64, NTLMv2 support on macOS and Linux has been added, but it is disabled by default. In this version, the NTLMv2 feature is now configurable for macOS and Linux. On Windows platforms, it is enabled by default.

JxBrowser 6.19.1

Tue, 06 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.19.1

Fixed Issues

This version contains fixes for the following issues:

Thread deadlock when resizing Swing/JavaFX BrowserView on macOS.
PrintJobListener.onPrintingDone() not called if page ranges are out of the document size. It was reproducible if you tried to set the page ranges that are out of the total number of pages to print. For example, the page ranges are 0-999, when the total number of pages is 10.
The browsercore32.exe zombie processes. We figured out that when all Browser instances on Windows platform are disposed, some browsercore32.exe processes are not terminated as expected and continue to run and to lock Chromium’s user data directory. In this build we fixed this issue.
The incorrect component positioning in a HiDPI environment on Windows platforms has been fixed.

Write us at to download JxBrowser 6.19.1.

JxBrowser 6.19

Tue, 27 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.19 lists quite a number of new features and improvements.

BrowserContext.setAcceptLanguage()

The BrowserContext.setAcceptLanguage() method has been added. The Browser.setAcceptLanguage() method has been marked as deprecated, because it doesn’t support language ranges according to RFC 7231. The BrowserContext.setAcceptLanguage() method supports language ranges, so you can use it like that:

browserContext.setAcceptLanguage("fr-CH, fr;q=0.9, en;q=0.8, de;q=0.7, *;q=0.5");

StartLoadingEvent.isSameDocument()

The StartLoadingEvent.isSameDocument() and ProvisionalLoadingEvent.isSameDocument() methods have been implemented. These methods indicate whether the loading event is initiated by a navigation within the same document.

Please note that U2F device registration is not supported at the moment. You can register your U2F device in Google Chrome or other web browser application, and then use it in JxBrowser for authentication.

JxBrowser 6.17

Mon, 06 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.17

JxBrowser 6.17 lists quite a number of new features and improvements.

Sandbox on Windows

In this version we have added support of the Chromium Sandbox on the Windows platforms. By default Sandbox is disabled to save backward compatibility with the previous versions. To enable Sandbox set the jxbrowser.chromium.sandbox System Property to true before you create a first Browser instance. For example:

JxBrowser 6.16

Thu, 05 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Chromium 60

The Chromium engine is upgraded to version 60.0.3112.113. It means that support of WebGL 2.0 has been automatically enabled.

Due to Chromium engine upgrade the list of supported platforms have been changed as well. Some time ago, the Chromium team announced that they will end support for Google Chrome on 32-bit Linux, Ubuntu Precise (12.04), and Debian 7 ( wheezy) in early March, 2016.

JxBrowser 6.14.2

Fri, 23 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.14.2

With this update JxBrowser was enhanced with much requested new method: JSObject.toJSONString(). It allows getting a string, containing the text representation of the JavaScript object, in JSON format.

Apart from this, v6.14.2 contains the following changes:

Improvements

The javafx.scene.input.ScrollEvent object passed to JavaFX BrowserView scroll events handler now includes additional information such as deltaX, deltaY, shiftDown, ctrlDown, altDown, metaDown.
The java.awt.event.MouseWheelEvent object passed to Swing BrowserView mouse events handler now includes additional information such as deltaY, shiftDown, ctrlDown, altDown, metaDown.
The default Swing and JavaFX File Open/Save dialog implementations has been extended with the *.pdf extension file filter when saving web page to PDF.

JxBrowser 6.11.1

Wed, 11 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.11.1

The new version allows accessing POST body when uploading form data with modified content-type. Now you can access POST body of HTTP request regardless of the HTTP request content type.

Fixed issues

The issue when lightweight rendering doesn’t work in the environment that user connects to via Windows Remote Desktop.
The crash in Chromium engine when minimizing JInternalFrame with embedded lightweight Swing BrowserView.
The rendering issues in lightweight JavaFX BrowserView.
The issue with black rectangle instead of empty cursor in lightweight JavaFX BrowserView.
Now JxBrowser extracts Chromium binaries into the <user>\AppData\Local\JxBrowser directory instead of user’s temp folder on Windows platform. On macOS and Linux the binaries are still extracted into user’s temp folder by default. The issue was that loading JNI library from user’s temp folder on Windows platform might cause access denied error sporadically. Loading JNI library from AppData\Local solves this issue.
The issue when first file is not uploaded to a web server when POST data is modified.
The issue when files are uploaded to a web server in incorrect order.

JxBrowser 6.9

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.9

Version 6.9 includes new features and improvements.

The JSFunction.invokeAsync() method has been implemented. This method allows invoking JavaScript function asynchronously and get the result of the invocation through Future<JSValue>.
The Browser.forwardMouseEvent(BrowserMouseEvent event) method has been implemented. This method allows forwarding mouse events directly to the currently loaded web page as if the mouse events were sent due to user actions.

This update also contains fixes for the following issues:

JxBrowser 6.8

Thu, 17 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.8

Version 6.8 includes quite a number of the new features and improvements.

HTML5 Desktop Notifications API. Now you can handle situation when a web page wants to display desktop notifications. You decide whether the web page is allowed to display notifications or not. By default desktop notifications are suppressed.
Incognito mode. By default each Browser instance stores all user data such as history, cookies, cache on disk. Starting from version 6.8 you can configure Browser instance to store all user data in memory (Chromium’s " Incognito" mode), so that all user data will be cleared once your Java application is terminated.
Voice recognition. This functionality is used in Google’s search by voice. By default voice recognition functionality is enabled, but it requires that Chromium Speech API key is enabled. So, you must provide Google API key to enable search by voice functionality in JxBrowser.
The Browser.getRenderProcessInfo() method. It returns information about Chromium render process associated with the current Browser instance. You can use this functionality to get process ID of Chromium render process associated with the Browser instance.
HTTP server whitelist functionality.
The BrowserView.forwardKeyEvent() method for JavaFX and Swing implementations. This method allows programmatically forward keyboard events to the currently loaded web page.
The Environment.isSupported() method. It allows checking whether current environment is supported by JxBrowser or not.
JavaScript – Java Bridge API has been extended with functionality that allows obtaining Java object from JSValue, if JSValue represents a JavaScript wrapper for Java object.
JavaScript – Java Bridge API has been extended with functionality that allows configuring what public fields/methods of the injected Java object are accessible from JavaScript and what fields/methods are not.
Functionality that allows taking screenshots of the entire web page has been improved. There was a limitation in Chromium engine related to maximum texture height of the Browser surface where the web page’s content is rendered. If the texture height exceeds the maximum value (16384), Chromium engine fills the rest of the web page with black color. Now you can configure the maximum texture height programmatically depending on your requirements.
Support of the file extension filter in the File Save dialog has been added in the com.teamdev.jxbrowser.chromium.javafx.DefaultDownloadHandler implementation.

This update also contains fixes for the following issues:

JxBrowser 6.7.1

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.7.1

Here’s the list of what has been improved in 6.7.1.

This version supports brand new macOS Sierra operating system. We’ve checked all JxBrowser functionality in this environment and confirm that JxBrowser 6.7.1 is compatible with this operating system.
It also supports the BrowserView.setVisible() method. Now, you can show/hide BrowserView instance using this method like standard Java Swing/JavaFX component.
The CacheStorage.clearCache() method has been improved. Now, apart from clearing disk cache the method clears memory cache as well.
We have removed the limitation when only one embedded PDF document on the web page could be printed. In previous versions, when web page had two or more embedded PDF documents, only one PDF document could be printed via the Print button in PDF Viewer.
The Browser.setZoomEnabled(false) method has been improved. Previously you could zoom in/out using pinch gesture even when zoom functionality was disabled. Now, the functionality disables pinch zoom as well.

This version also contains fixes for the following issues:

JxBrowser 6.7

Fri, 16 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.7

In this update we extended existing API with new functionality, fixed several critical issues reported by our customers, and improved stability of the library in multi-threaded environments.

Let us provide you with more details of what has been improved:

We have added functionality that allows enabling/disabling zoom for a Browser instance. Now you can disable zoom functionality for a specific Browser instance to prevent web page from zooming via zoom in/out/reset functions or via touch gestures on the touch screen devices.
The new version now features functionality that allows getting notifications when web page becomes unresponsive/responsive.
Support of HiDPI monitors on Windows platforms has been improved. Several developers reported the issue with positioning BrowserView component inside Java frame on HiDPI monitors on Windows platform. The issue is reproducible only when system font scale factor is != 100% and Java process does not have the DPI Awareness flag in the process’ manifest. So, they were running Java program using patched java.exe where the DPI Awareness flag is removed. JxBrowser Chromium process has the DPI Awareness flag in the process’ manifest. Thus, it leads to the situation when Java and JxBrowser Chromium processes are differently configured. To solve the issue we need to run JxBrowser Chromium process with the same DPI Awareness flag value. We updated code in JxBrowser Chromium process, so that it programmatically detects whether the flag is set in Java process and configures JxBrowser Chromium process accordingly.
JavaScript-Java Bridge API has been extended. We added functionality that allows setting items to JSArray at specific index, implemented support of access to (ability to modify) public field of injected Java object into JavaScript code, and added the ability to instantiate JavaScript objects in Java code.
The DOMElement.getBoundingClientRect() method has been implemented. This method allows getting bounds of the element and its position relative to the top-left of the viewport of the current document.
The Browser.forwardKeyEvent() method has been added. This method allows forwarding keyboard events to the currently loaded web page. It’s very useful when using JxBrowser in a kiosk Java application that must run on terminals with touch screen.
Size of JxBrowser JAR files has been reduced by ~30% by using a better compression algorithm for archiving Chromium binaries.
Default logging level has been changed to SEVERE instead of ALL. According to your feedback, you prefer that JxBrowser does not print all log messages into console output by default.
Default popup window title has been changed. Now, popup window title displays the currently loaded document’s title. If the document’s title represents an empty string, the popup window title will be empty as well. It will not display the “JxBrowser Popup” text like in previous versions.
We have removed TeamDev’s signature from JAR files. Starting from this update we decided to ship JxBrowser as a set of unsigned JAR files. From the support requests we noticed that signed JAR files cause deployment and modification issues for developers. The developers cannot modify Manifest files of the signed JxBrowser JAR files or combine them into a single JAR. When they deploy JxBrowser in their JWS application, then have to remove TeamDev’s signature and sign JxBrowser JAR files with their own signature. To get rid of these little big issues, we decided to remove signature from JxBrowser JAR files to make life of Java developers easier.

The version introduces fixes for the following issues:

JxBrowser 6.6.1

Tue, 09 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.6.1

In this minor update we fixed several critical issues reported by our customers and improved existing functionality.

Felix and Eclipse OSGi. JxBrowser has been adopted and tested in Felix OSGi environment. Now JxBrowser supports two OSGi implementations: Eclipse and Felix. Eclipse OSGi environment support has been improved as well. Now, each JxBrowser JAR file represents an OSGi bundle. To use JxBrowser in your OSGi application, you just need to include JxBrowser JAR files/bundles into your OSGi application.
Spell Checker API. By default Chromium engine does spell checking only for the text in the modified paragraph. In this version we introduced functionality that forces Chromium engine to spell check the whole text upon every change including text in TinyMCE editor.
JavaScript-Java Bridge API. Using JavaScript-Java Bridge you can inject Java object into JavaScript code and associate it with JavaScript object’s property. When Java object is injected into JavaScript code via the bridge, JavaScript code can access only public methods of the Java object. When Java object represented a class that inherited another class with public methods, there was no way to access public methods of the parent class. Starting from version 6.6.1 you can access all public methods of the registered Java object, including parent’s methods.
Printing API. Support of page ranges when printing web page as PDF document has been implemented.
Deadlock in multi-threaded environment on Windows XP and OS X. In multi-threaded environment, when Browser instances are created and destroyed in different threads at the same time, sometimes thread deadlock happens. We reproduced the issue, figured out what causes it and fixed it in this minor update. So, stability of the library in multi-threaded environment on Windows and OS X was significantly improved.
Deadlock during Drag and Drop on Windows. The issue happens when dragging something in Java application and displaying BrowserView without releasing the drag. It was simple thread deadlock that is now fixed in JxBrowser code.
Printing in PDF Viewer. An issue when empty page was printed when printing from PDF viewer is fixed.
Zoom in/out in PDF Viewer. An issue when the Browser.zoomIn() and Browser.zoomOut() methods do nothing when PDF document is displayed in PDF Viewer is fixed.
Failed to load PDF document in PDF Viewer. The issue is fixed in this update.
Startup error on OS X with Portuguese or Chinese locale. When OS X language is set to Portuguese or Chinese, JxBrowser fails to start because Chromium cannot find the appropriate language pack. The reason of this issue is that Java detects the language as "PT" or "ZH", but Chromium does not have appropriate packs for these languages. It only has the "PT_BR", "PT_PT", "ZH_CH", and "ZH_TW" packs. So, the language identifier that is received from Java default locale must be combined with country identifier in case of Portuguese and Chinese language. We made this change to improve the functionality in JxBrowser that detects current language and country to get rid of such issues on OS X.
Wrong Redo shortcut on OS X. In previous JxBrowser versions the Redo shortcut (Cmd+Y) does not match the native OS X combination (Cmd+Shift+Z). Starting from JxBrowser 6.6.1 the Redo shortcut on OS X is correct — Cmd+Shift+Z.
Render Process events. It turns out that the RenderListener.onRenderGone() event is fired only when lightweight rendering mode is enabled. In heavyweight rendering mode there was no way to find out when render process is unexpectedly terminated. Now the event is fired in both rendering modes: heavyweight and lightweight.

JxBrowser 6.5.1

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.5.1

In this minor update we fixed several critical issues reported by our customers.

Startup error on Mac OS X with Portuguese or Chinese locale. When Mac OS X language is set to Portuguese or Chinese, JxBrowser fails to start because Chromium cannot find the appropriate language pack. The reason of this issue is that Java detects the language as "PT" or "ZH", but Chromium does not have appropriate packs for these languages. It only has the "PT_BR", "PT_PT", "ZH_CH", and "ZH_TW" packs. So, the language identifier that is received from Java default locale must be combined with country identifier in case of Portuguese and Chinese language. So this is what we did to improve the functionality in JxBrowser that detects current language and country to get rid of such issues on Mac OS X.
Deadlock in multi-threaded environment on Windows XP and Mac OS X. In multi-threaded environment, when Browser instances are created and destroyed in different threads at the same time, sometimes thread deadlock happens. We reproduced the issue, figured out what causes it and fixed it in this minor update. So, stability of the library in multi-threaded environment on Windows and Mac OS X has been significantly improved.

JxBrowser 6.6

Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.6

Upgrade to Chromium 51

The major change in this release is upgrade of the Chromium engine to version 51.0.2704.106, which also brings several changes to JxBrowser system requirements.

In November 2015 Google announced the end of Chrome/Chromium’s support for Windows XP, as well as Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. Starting with Google Chrome/Chromium 50 these platforms are no longer supported at all. Since JxBrowser 6.6 is based on Chromium 51, support of these platforms has been dropped as well.

JxBrowser 6.5

Wed, 08 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.5

Key changes

In this update we focused on implementing features, long-awaited by our customers, such as access to HTTP response data (AJAX response body), multiple HTTP headers support, gesture event listener, getting selected HTML, better support of IME and different keyboard languages, and much more.

Upgrading from version 6.4

If you already use JxBrowser 6.4 version in your project, you will have no issues switching to 6.5 because it’s also based on Chromium 49 and its API is backward compatible with the previous version.

JxBrowser 6.4

Thu, 12 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.4

Chromium 49

JxBrowser 6.4 is based on Chromium 49.0.2623.110. This is fairly cool, because apart from general compatibility with the latest web standards, this Chromium engine solves tricky tasks, which were hard to accomplish in some previous versions, like displaying WebGL content on Linux platforms, and enabling incoming audio RTP streams. Also, in Chromium 49, PDF Viewer UI has been updated. So, now you can enjoy the new look, when displaying PDF documents in JxBrowser.

Mon, 14 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

JxBrowser 6.0

This page will guide you through the major new features and improvements included into JxBrowser 6.0.

GPU-accelerated rendering

Apart from the standard lightweight (off-screen) rendering mode, now JxBrowser supports heavyweight (windowed, GPU-accelerated) rendering mode. The description of the difference between these two modes is given below.

In lightweight rendering mode Chromium engine renders web page off-screen using CPU. An image of the web page is saved in shared memory. JxBrowser reads the image from the shared memory and displays it using standard Java Graphics 2D API. This approach works great if you need a true lightweight Swing/JavaFX component for display of modern HTML5/JavaScript/CSS web pages.
